Minneapolis Will Get the Repub-
Iican National Convention if the
Committee Keeps Up Its Gait.
The Argonauts of Minneapolis will
not fail of their mission if confident
front and an august delegation will
avail aught. Chicago smiled this morn
ing when the army of fifty-siX descended
upon her enYi0us domain and occupied
the Grand Pacific as though it owned
il. The morning papers had announced
that Minneapolis had given up the fight
for the convention, but the evening
papers. after interviewing the delega-
ton and seeing il safely launched in the
Baltimore 4 Ohio. gravely admitted
that Minneapolis was in the field and
would fight with Northwestern per
tinacity. Senator LangdOn is here On
his way home from Washington, and
saws he has every assurance that the
right kind of fight will win. Col.
Plummer, of Dakota, the IngersOu of
the party. frankly admitted to the re-
porter here that, as a measure of policy
TO hold the Northwest, the Republicans
must bring their convention, together
with its influence. in that direction.
While this is at wide variance with the
sentiments uttered-at so much per
utterly the Doughty DakOtians i'll the
McGill campaign. he Is doubtless now
giving the facts, and this will be the
trump card to be played at Washington
before the committee. The ArgOnautS
got away on Baltimore Il Ohio special
this evening. happy and confident. The
trip thus far has been without incident
other than the grand treatment accorded
by the Wisconsin Central people and

to be equal to the occasion.
RIAINE WANTS IT IN NEW YORK.
Special TO the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 5.-In very
few days the Republican ma
tiOnal committee will meet here and
decide where they will meet to nOmi
nate a man for Grover Cleveland TO
walk over and trample on. 1t is antici
pated by the friends of the statesman
abroad that he will again be set up in
the alley for Grover to bowl against.
Hence, they are looking not merely for
an eligible and entertaining city, but
for a town which will aid the Blaine
boom with shouts, waving of handker
chiefs, reSOunding trOmbOneS and blat-

Augusta, the postmaster for whose scalp
Mr.. Blaine personally called upon Mr..
Cleveland and besOught his clemency-
Mr.. Manly, the manly Maine Blaineite
and custodian of the conscience of the
Plume-says that New York would be
a good place for the convention to meet.
1t is presumed, and intimated by him,
that a great big conventional enthuse-
ment in New York city would
materially aid the Knight. But the

tiOn from the pure air of the prairieS
and brain food from the fish of Mime
tonka and kindred health resorts. For
the past week Chief Clerk johnson. of
the senate, has been descanting upon
the giOries of Minneapolis, and he has
done well. lie reminds the people that
Senator Davis is OH the committee. and
that he will favor the Flour city. He
eloquently describes the great hall in
which sinners were converted by Jones
and Small. The Minnesota senators
and members have supplemented his
pleadingS. and there is quite boom for
Minneapolis. 1t is talked of constantly.
The friends OF the Iowa aSpirant are all
in favor of Minneapolis. Although
Senator Allison is constructively not
candidate, nevertheless it is understood
that if Blaine cannot get there, he will
throw all of his strength and influence
to the Iowa man. Hence, quite natu-
rally, the friends of that gentleman are
anxious to have the Republican national
convention held as far west as possible.
1t may be that it is not so much love of
Minneapolis as it is fear of Blaine that
prompts them. but the fact is patent.
Hence, Minneapolis has fair show in
the matter, and should press her adj
